Welcome to the eighth chapter of Backdrop Generator - The Far Away Reality. This serialised concept album was completed in 2005, but was never officially released. Set in the future, the year is 2020…….
In a darkened corner of Backdrop nerve centre, a programmer is hunched over his screen. Everybody else has gone home. He hates home. Ever since the Backdrop project started, he has become even more obsessive and introverted. The object of his infatuation is Little Quantum. Everybody’s infatuated with her. Little Quantum is beautiful, fresh and innocent, full of wonder and enthusiasm, Idolised by millions, she is a comic, a mimic, and totally unaware of her allure. He made her. He wants her. He watches her all the time. She is his antidote to a life of despair and loneliness. He has to be close to her and imagines infiltrating the Far Away Reality. He begins to wonder about stealing her data…….
I’m watching you
I’m wanting you
And I feel such a long way from home
Lost child, wondering
And I never thought that I could belong anywhere
I’ve spent my whole life waiting for you
And I’ve never felt that I could belong anywhere
I’ll spend my whole life thinking of you…..
You’re in the easy detail
The frozen recall of this place
Past regard eternal
Little Quantum enhances your view
Little Quantum I’ll get to you
Little Quantum…..
